Share daily moments through Status
Status allows you to share text, photos, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. You can choose to share status posts with all your contacts or just selected ones.

Use WhatsApp on your Wear OS watch to continue conversations, reply to messages, and take calls - all from your wrist. And, leverage tiles and complications to easily access your chats and send voice messages.

it could be better. For instance, i would like to be able to read all of the mesej that was sent to me. Currently, it works just fine until the person sends me a sticker and makes the message above or below it gets cut off to be able to show me the sticker that the other person sent to me. On the other hand, i want to talk about the quick video feature, i understand that it was supposed to be a "quick video capture" but sometimes the way you can't choose to set where the camera will be facing...

the sound of clicking and sending voice notes got activated automatically after an update and there is no way to turn it down. Me and thousands more are getting crazy on the Internet, there is no way to solve it!!!! I have had my phone on vibrate for many years, no joke, I haven't had the sound activated in years, and it still makes sounds. even if I put it in silence mode where everything is muted, it still makes these sounds!! conversation tones are off and the app still makes the sounds!!

Beautiful app for messaging and all, but the voice call and video call needs to b worked on massively. Now, about 2 months ago, I can no longer upload songs on my status, I can not even lace an image with a track and share. It keeps coming up with the same phrase. "Sharing failed, try again later." Why?! I've deleted cache, updated, and restarted my phone, everything, but it's still persists, and it's frustrating, ngl. Is it a device issue or what? it doesn't make sense. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!
